Thank you, thank you, thank you, Ethan! I'm learning to paint again after more than 30 years and though it's all so exciting, so fun, and so new - it's also been somewhat intimidating. Not only is painting fun, expressive, & creative, it can also be relaxing and meditative. But... then there's me fighting my "perfectionist" self. The one who always says, "This isn't good enough, you can't really do this, and you should just give up." Well, I'm not giving up this time and after a couple days searching on YouTube for a good "color theory" explanation and the subtractive vs additive thing, I've found THE VERY BEST EXPLANTION on YOUTUBE; YOURS! So again, thank you for sharing this information more than 4 years ago! I feel like it was made especially for me... Anyways, I'm going to go and paint a color wheel now... :) This is great!

This was a good video. I was a little overwhelmed when it jumped from the mixing of the CMYK to the RGB and how you view colors with the shirt, so I'll just have to watch it again. But thanks for all the info.

THANK YOU! I have read so much on color theory the past three days and nothing clicked for me the way this did. I finally understand how Photoshop color correction works and why!

This explains ALOT. Since I paint digitally, I guess I'll need to use the RGB but if I'm painting with ACTUAL paints I'll use CMYK

I finally found a good video about this... thank you master for your time explaining this! I see that this is 8 years ago LOL it is still relevant! i hope you are doing great!

Interesting video. I tend to favor the RYB model myself.
Did you know that in the RYB paint pallette Phthalo Blue is often cited as the primary blue? It is made from a chemical compound, Copper Phthalocyanine. It is a blue pigment with a cyan undertone, hence it is called blue when in its opaque form. The cyan used in inkjet printers uses an aqueous solution consisting of Phthalocyanine. The "cyan" in the additive spectrum is actually more of a Turquoise color than Cyan.

In CMYK the letter "K" is for KARBON which comes from the Greek word for the chemical element carbon

Hi ! I hope u can notice me im from the philippines, sir. I have a printer L130 sublimation ink. My printouts were fine. But when i used heat press on my drifit shirt using sublimation paper, the gray turned into green shade. From what i saw here, yellow and cyan is equals to green. Does that mean i have to lower my yellow and cyan before i print my image design??? Plss help me.

all I heard was something about red shirts, and I am now wanting to watch some Star Trek crewmembers....

[dantan]

Can you make a video show what happens if you have a colored light like yellow or blue what would the shirt reflect?

Please please explain me why there is on the web that in the cromaticle circle CMYk instead of read (magenta+yellow) people put orange? does exist two cromatic circle? why "teachers" put that?

[muahmedadhem]

Hello Ethan, thank you for your video. Why are the primary CMYK colours not simply red, green, and blue too? They mix the same way as RGB colours do.

This video was so good but only one thing that I don't understand is
White
